The development team would like to thank all of those who have involved |
It is with the deepest regret we have to inform you that on Wednesday 11th June |

themselves with this release. |
Chris Burnat passed away. He was one of the most ardent supporters of |
59 |
|
Koozali SME Server and we all owe him an enormous debt of gratitude. |
60 |
|
|
61 |
|
We dedicate this release of SME Server 9.0 to Chris. |

Without him it would be nowhere near ready. If you download and use it, |
63 |
|
please remember him and his work, and that of all the other contributors |
64 |
|
who work tirelessly to make Koozali SME as good as it is. |

We extend our thoughts and deepest sympathies to his family. |
